EASTON -- School superintendent Michael Green retired on Monday and started work Tuesday as regional director for Trinity Catholic Academy in Brockton.

Green, 59, will oversee the two campuses of the kindergarten through grade 8 school that opened in 2007 as well as oversee the connections and programs the school has with Stonehill College and Regis College.

"I'm most looking forward to working with great educators and a great team and moving Trinity forward, just to be a part of that," Green said.

Green has an education career that has spanned 36 years, the last 24 in Easton. He started his career in Easton as principal of the old North Easton Grammar School. He then moved to an administrative assistant role before being named assistant superintendent and was named the district's superintendent in 2009.

He said he would take what he has learned in Easton about teamwork and cooperation, vision and effort with him in his new job.

"Everyone has been working for the best interest of the kids, in Easton that's obviously the case. I'll take that with me," Green said.

He said it was a privilege and a great source of pride for him to spend so many years in the Easton public school district.

"The important piece for me is the people," Green said. "I'm particularly grateful for the lessons I learned during the building construction and renovation projects."

Green said his wish for the district is to finish the final phase of the school building project, namely renovating the town's three K-2 schools.

"The town hired someone to look at the town and school buildings," Green said. "That's something that would obviously be great once they move forward. I know the new superintendent (Andrew Keough) will do a fantastic job moving the district forward."

Green said he would definitely miss the relationships and friendships he has made in Easton during his time working in the town.

"I leave with very strong memories of the strong friendships and the people and the work they've done," Green said.

Green grew up in and still lives in Stoughton with his wife and children. He has been a fan of jazz bands, marching bands, and competitions.

He is also an accomplished musician who taught guitar lessons out of his home for 30 years and even played in bands while in college.

Keough, the school committee's unanimous choice as Easton's new school superintendent, is a Sherborn resident and the former principal of Wellesley High School.
